  • You've almost got it. All that's missing is an understanding of the lyrics. You sing awfully well, but you don't quite get this song. Too many frills.

  • @tallyho96 Johnny Mercer is my favorite lyricist, I understand the lyrics completely. I've recorded very simple renditions of Skylark. I was actually chosen to sing this song at Northwestern University for the first annual Johnny Mercer songwriter's workshop because I understood it so well. I was experimenting with the musicality of the tune here, this rendition wasn't about lyrics, it was about taking some musical risks. Nothing I hate more than "safe" singin. singing is freedom of expression.
